When energy supply is low, organisms respond by slowing aging and increasing
resistance to diverse age-related pathologies. Targeting the mechanisms
underpinning this response may therefore treat multiple disorders through a
single intervention. Here, we discuss AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) as an
integrator and mediator of several pathways and processes linking energetics to
longevity. Activated by low energy, AMPK is both prolongevity and druggable, but
its role in some pathologies may not be beneficial. As such, activating AMPK may
modulate multiple longevity pathways to promote healthy aging, but unlocking its
full potential may require selective targeting toward substrates involved in
longevity assurance.
